Truthfully, I’ve never been a fan of Emily Dickinson. I came down to Memphis to say goodbye to Murphy something I haven’t been able to do. But it’s time. Murphy was Menschkeit. Maybe he was the thing that made Malcolm so much of me. And maybe that’s why I miss him so. I’ve been reading Victor Frankl’s ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ and in it he writes, “But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.”I wonder if that’s what Emily meant. There is no more absolute than zero.
